Task:

Elevator consists of an 18-month training programme which encompassess two international 9-month placements.

During your placements, you will combine operational, all-round experience working in the 4 main hotel business areas of Operations, Business Development, Human Resources and Finance. You will also participate in off-the-job training and have business driven projects to complete.

During Elevator your progress is constantly assessed, so you always know how you are developing.

As the programme is so flexible, it will take into account all training that you have had to date and build on it, rather than making you repeat things unnecessarily.

There are also four main criteria for the General Manager’s Programme:

You must have a Bachelors Degree or equivalent (preference will be given to individuals with hospitality-related experience)

Where will I be?

The location of your placements will depend on availability and the languages you speak.
